    Ducks Stopped Laying?

    I took her to the vet a while back for a bump on her bottom. It looked as though an egg was lodged but she was still laying. He said she's just fat lol they're bred for their breasts and liver so high protein food makes their bottom fatty. But he said she didn't have an egg lodged and her...

    I hope. Hopefully time will tell. It makes me nervous in the meantime. Thanks again!

    Ducks Stopped Laying?

    She hasn't laid in about 5 months. There's not really anywhere for her to hide them because the pen I clean once a week, and although at one time I just scooped the old bedding out and put new in, I've been checking for eggs the last 3 months. And we've cleaned it once a week since we've had...

    My ducks won't forage!!!!

    They are probably scared still. Ducks are very finicky when it comes to tragic events. How long has it been since the attack? And have you fixed the way the dogs got in? They may just feel unsafe or uneasy still. Now as for food... what are you hand feeding them? There are many different...

    Ducks Stopped Laying?

    Hello, I'm new to this site so forgive me if this has been answered in previous threads. I searched and saw people asked the same question, but never got answered. My wife and I have two Pekin/Muscovy hybrid (decided by local farm store, we rescued them). They are around 2 1/2 years old. The...
